Spinlaunch has been trying to make a catapult-to-orbit out of a miniature hyperloop. Actually not as dumb as I made it sound (but it does have its own issues)
Unless your upper half happened to be on the upper path of one of those things. Then it would probably be amazing for like a nanosecond. In the most macabre way I suppose. But just a nanosecond. After that when you fully realize what happened there probably wouldn’t be much you left to keep realizing anything past that.
You can launch payloads into orbit with less pollution and for cheaper. You can build habitations with the material and bring humans up the traditional way.
Of course though, the powers that be are going to be more interested in killing each other.
A new space race with railguns would be the fucking coolest thing ever

until they use the tech to drop bombs more effectively

It goes without saying that we should work out any safety issues before that
